Musics never been my thing but how good are these oldies. Love them..

 

Red light

 

Big fan of Billy Ocean me like. Red light is a cracker.

 

I dont follow music that much. I was always into the rave scene but Red lights is one of the best songs ive ever heard.

 

Hard to mix high tempo with emotion. I think Billy nails it on that tune.

 

Defo mate. Like i said im far from being a music buff but that song just makes me want to get up off my seat and make a tw@t of myself lol.

 

Hi tempo and passionate. Try this. It's pacy, heartfelt, raw and just makes me want to dance my arse off.

 

Billy is a legend

 

Feck me thats quality mate . Proper upbeat and full of energy. I love this kind of vibe

 

Lets not forget soft cell. What a song

 

Northern Soul mate. It's what hooked me in to soul and then funk. Completely switched my taste in music. All Northern soul is high tempo. Basically most of the high tempo soul songs in the US failed with the yanks more favoring the slower motown, but brits started going over to the US and bring these awesome up tempo unsold vinyls and started putting dance nights on in Northern England which triggered a giant non commercial movement.

 

To be honest mate id heard of Northern soul but i didnt know what it was.
It sounds right up my street.

 

I'm bang into my groove at the moment which is basically 80s soul, but a lot of ventures right into electro and I'm really enjoying that too and a lot of 80s pop, stuff like Soft Cell. Soft Cell actually covered a Northern Soul classic

 

My favorite 80s band at the moment

 

My favourite 80s band has got to be Dire straits.

 

If your girl likes to dance and so do you there's regular nights all over the region. Bet there's one round your way. I know there's a funk night so defo a northern soul. Problem with Northern soul nights are the venues, so oftern in dirty social clubs. But it's best enjoyed in ball rooms. Center Stage dancfloor and acoustics which bounce the sound around rather than absorb the sound waves adds to the rawness.

It's under a revival with young uns getting bang into it.

 

I remember when you were coming round to him a few years back. Wasn't it one of his ballads which got under your skin? Suddenly was it?

 

Not the biggest fan as I'm not into that sort of rock, but that tune is out of this world mate.
